I graduated truck driving school in October and started with a company where I live here in Cedar Rapids (not CRST). While with my trainer I had an incident where I damaged a trailer (long story). They routed us back to CR and we had to talk to safety. I was let go, it was put on my dac as a preventable and now I can't get any of the mega starter companies to hire me. Am I unhireable right now? Do I have to wait 3 years?
Thanks
Preventable accident as a student. Am I unhireable right now?

No, But you will want to put a statement on your DAC, Go to a smaller company that will not run the DAC on you! There are those around, I'm wondering why they didn't nail the trainer too? That is crazy. Good Luck.

I'm new to, don't ever give up, call several companies, be up front, if it's the only thing on your record, someone will take you on !

Must be WST. They're bad about scarring DAC's. Hateful boogers, lol.
When you say all mega carriers do you really mean all? There's a bunch of them and one accident is not enough to stop you from everywhere. You just have to keep applying.
Have you got a copy of your DAC to see the details? -

There is always local jobs that are less critical on hiring qualifications. -
You're ok, just have to look harder for a new company. Check Careerbuilder website and start applying. You're in the hiring area for Western Express so try them also.
